A HA - A calorie total of 2472 for me to maintain my weight at a moderate activity level. No wonder I gained weight! I definitely ate over that amount a day plus I was not doing moderate exercise sooooo my real calorie maximum per day would be 1914!!!

Now that I have some information I believe this re-assures me that I should be seeing a weight loss per week if I maintain my eating and exercise plan. Now how much you loss can be dependent on other factors like fluid retention, illness, stress, etc. I expect to see fluctuations per week but the darn thing should work over time; patience and persistence is needed.

I hope you found this helpful. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding the information, have I misunderstood it?

That is very useful info. I think I learned that somewhere but they were just using 2000 a day as a standard BMR and going off that to tell you that a calorie deficit is any activity you do over that amount added to however many less calories than you eat that day.
